Down right perfect weekend!

What a great weekend C and I had! 

On Friday, once again, we went to another opening night for a Disney movie...sans kids. We always joke about how we are usually the only adults in "kid" movies without kids, but that's our life for now and we love it. 

Big Hero 6 was such a good movie! Not to mention the amazing short before the movie started. I laughed and cried during both. Disney just has a way with my heart! 

Saturday was such a special day. C and I got to participate in the 2014 Houston Buddy Walk. We got to help celebrate and support two special students of mine. We have been looking forward to this day for awhile! On Friday, I had my class make posters and take pictures with our buddies. It is so sweet to see them love and support their classmates. My two little loves did such an awesome job at the walk. They are such troopers as they both get sensory overloaded by loud noises and crowds. I was such a proud teacher as I watched so many people support and celebrate this amazing population and their amazing abilities. I sure do love my kiddos and their amazing families, who entrust their babies to me. 

It's a beautiful thing when a passion and a career come together. Being a special educator is one of the toughest jobs out there, but those precious kiddos make it all worth it. I will always take every opportunity to celebrate my students. I hope I teach them half of what they teach me.

Weekend fun & baby love

I'm so thankful for a family filled weekend. My favorite sister-in-law and her sweet family came for a quick visit from San Antonio. It was so nice having all of us together and relaxing at Corey's parents house, which is just a few minutes from our house. We enjoyed lots of yummy food, good talks, and mall walks.  Being far away from my family gets really hard sometimes, but I'm so blessed to have married into such an amazing family that I love so much. Not to mention-we have a brand new gorgeous baby niece! We love Ms. Brynlee Kate so much and look forward to watching her grow! 

Dream big, little one. 

With love, 

Auntie D

Remembering why I started...

Wow. 11 amazing months have gone by! I can't believe it.

I hate that I've neglected this thing for so long, especially since my whole purpose for starting this was to be able to look back at all the memories we are making. Better late than never-right?

I can't even begin to explain all the amazing things that have gone on since I last posted.
So for my sake of reflecting over the past 11 months-here I go (thanks to Instagram for help):

I turned 24

BEST DAY EVER

11.30.13

We moved into our first home together

Made our first big adult purchases together

Had a married little Christmas

Honeymooned in Mexico

Spent a couple of weeks in West TX

Became Auntie D & Uncle C for the 2nd time :)

Went to WDW for the 2nd time together 

Went to Rockets, Texans, & Roadrunner games

Saw the Wizard of Oz at Hobby

Witnessed 3 sets of close friends and family have their special day

And have made countless memories together with family and friends

Being a newlywed is pure bliss. Every little "first" has been so special.
Next month will mark one year of marriage with C. Part of me can't believe it's already (almost) been a year, while the other part feels like it has been forever. I'm so honored to call C my husband. I love our life together.

With love,
